Device Is Not Ready

[daveoffice]

I am attempting to evaluate the PDF Suite.

After installing the program, whenever I try to print to the AMYUNI driver, I receive a "The device is not ready." message.

My operating system is Vista Ultimate.

The printer will work if I'm logged in as an administrator, but not as a regular user.

Hello

This scenario may occur in either of the circumstances below:

1- The PDF Converter driver functions by reading and writing printer settings to the registry. All users of the PDF Converter must have at least read/write privileges to the "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\<Printer Name>" and "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software" keys in the registry and if the user does not have access the conversion process will fail.

2- There are a couple of registry keys which get created when the install.exe is initially run and these registry keys contain licensing information. These keys can not be accessed by standard users and therefore cause the situation you have described.

In order to resolve this issue you can

A- Include the install.ini file with the correct "License to" and "Activation code" values in the same directory as the install.exe? The install.exe will read these values from the ini file.

B- You can install the printer and assign the "License to" and "Activation code" values to it by passing these values as parameters to the install.exe.

E.g.: Install -s "My Company Printer" -n "Evaluation Developer License" -c "07ABCDA0ABCDABCDABCD012301230123....."

Hope that helps?
